Sending a Command From the Host
You can write a host application that configures one RF or Ethernet
terminal. This host application must be able to communicate with the
DCS 300 in a UDP Plus network or directly through the access point in a
TCP/IP direct connect network.

DCS 300 in a UDP Plus network or directly through the access point in a
TCP/IP direct connect network.
Configuring the Terminal in a UDP Plus Network
You can use the host computer to configure a terminal in your RF or
Ethernet network. To send and receive configuration data or files, you
need to write a host application that can communicate with the DCS 300.
For help, see the DCS 300 User’s Manual. You use the Terminal Message
Format (TMF) protocol to send and receive transactions between the host
application and the terminal.

To set up the DCS 300
• Configure a peer-to-peer destination name for the host application.
Create a transaction ID, $NGCFGRSP, that will be routed to this
destination name. The DCS 300 uses the transaction ID to route
responses from the terminal back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP
is a special transaction ID that the server uses to forward configuration
response data from a terminal.

responses from the terminal back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP
is a special transaction ID that the server uses to forward configuration
response data from a terminal.
All configuration responses will be routed with the $NGCFGRSP
transaction ID. The DCS 300 cannot keep track of multiple
applications sending reader or configuration commands. If you have
two host applications sending reader or configuration commands, they
must both be configured to receive the $NGCFGRSP transactions, and
therefore both will receive all responses from all terminals.
